TAG Heuer Link Automatik NEU incl MWST B&P

What a shame!
I was doing my normal surfing, and came across this:cgi.ebay/OMEGA-C-CONSTELL...ht_4701wt_1167Nice...except that a movement from 1960 shouldn't be in a case that wasn't made until 1966/67 at the earliest. Sharp looking franken though, isn't it?

Stolen White Gold Ventura
A few days ago a colleague in the UK was mugged at knifepoint and his wife's white gold Ventura was stolen. Given the rarity of this piece I suspect there is a very good chance it will surface in the collector market sooner rather than later.I would ask for everyone to please keep an eye out for this watch as it could easily show up anywhere in the world, on the Internet or at a show.The case has the serial number S424541; the movement is a Hamilton 505 and the dial is refinished black. I restored the watch just a few months ago and the condition is superb.If any information about this watch turns up, please email me at rene@rondeau.net so I can pass it along to the authorities.

How free is this forum ?
Dear friends:Is this really a watch talk forum or only a watch consumer's forum ?Posts about existing products of watch industry are welcome !Bu if I, a simple watch lover, not a watch maker, an amateur not a watch professional, present my own watch creation, what a polemic discussion created ! The call it SPAM, but it is serious.If I have an idea, why not discuss it freely ?In industry and science, how many good ideas and discoveries have been made by amateurs and not by professionals ? Nobody less tha Albert Einstein was still an amateur scientist, when he published his theory abou the "Outer Photo Effect" and his "Special Relativity Theory", because he still was a poorly paid employee of a library and not professor of university. Do you know this fact ?Be more tolerant and maintain your minds open for novelties within the forum.Greetings from Brazil:Toivo

Need some suggestions regarding AP vs PP vs RM vs Newman
Hi guys,Thinking about adding a new watch to my collection. To be honest, bought a lot of PP recently so PP is the last one on my list. But the cheapest one :)1. Audemars Piguet GMT Concept Tourbillon (this exact reference)The price will be around 125,000 Euro. This would be my first ever tourbillon watch and a perfect one for that (as I think tourbillon is a movement looking better on a sports watch rather than PP with closed tourbillon or something like JLC with open tourbillon. Minute repeater is for more classical style watches, in my opinion of course. The size is good for my wrist as well.2. Richard Mille RM35 Nadal CarbonI do not have a Richard Mille & Skeleton so that would fit nice for me as well. The price will be around 80,000 Euros. Also the size is really good and this for me is really a good looking & sporty watch. Can't be sure about the price & also the availability though.3. Patek Philippe 5960P Black DialThe cheapest of all, will be around 55,000 Euro. Th

Looking for advice on the best way to buy used
I've been lurking around this forum for years lusting over the various watches in Rolex's line. After many years, I've finally settled in on the one watch I want, the 39mm Explorer I.Specifically, I want the current version that was updated in 2016. Looking at Rolex's site, the current MSRP is $6,550. I know there is room to negotiate with AD's. I understand your mileage may vary here depending on the AD and the model in question (for example, no one is giving any discounts on Subs). That said, I've seen many example of discounts in the 10-12% range. I don't think the Explorer I is a hot watch, so I don't think it would be outside the realm of possibility to get a 10% discount from an AD, which would put the cost at $5,895.I've got two questions specific to trying to purchase this watch used:1) I know there are many trusted sellers here on this forum. That said, I don't typically see many used Explorer I's posted, especially those that are the newest version. Can you proactivel
